Homes that truly work for entertaining don't come along often and this one delivers. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers an open-concept main level where the kitchen, dining area, and family room connect seamlessly, balanced by a separate formal living room that adds flexibility and function. Hardwood flooring runs throughout the main level, complemented by stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and strong natural light that fills the home in the afternoon and evening. The family room opens directly to the backyard, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow ideal for gatherings and relaxed evenings. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced yard with a fire pit with outdoor storage shed, perfect for entertaining or unwinding. The finished lower level expands your living space offering flexibility for hosting, recreation, or additional living needs. Major mechanical updates include a newer HVAC system (1 year) and a roof (approximately 8 years old). A 2.5-car detached garage (roof replaced 1 yr ago) provides ample space for parking and storage as well as newly paved driveway & walkway (1 yr). Located on a quiet, tree-lined street with convenient access to shopping, restaurants, and I-290, I-294, I-88 and I-55, this home is well suited for first-time buyers or anyone seeking comfort, functionality, and space. Village inspection has already been completed, allowing for a smooth path to closing.
